…Security Skills Shortage To Be a Big Problem in 2015

Any economics book will tell you that high demand and short supply can lead to market turmoil. In this case, I anticipate hyper salary inflation, acute cybersecurity skills shortages at mid-market, public sector, and rural organizations, and a massive shift to MSSPs by organizations who simply can’t hire skilled infosec professionals. Based upon this situation, I recommend that CISOs consider the ramifications of the cybersecurity skills shortage into every policy, process, and technology decision they make in 2015.
